The Best Chrome Extension for Teachers in 2025: Why Brisk Is the #1 Choice for Educators

In 2025, Brisk has become the go-to choice for teachers who want to get meaningful work done, faster.

Teaching today means juggling more than ever — lesson planning, giving feedback, differentiating instruction, and keeping students engaged, all before noon. It’s a lot.

There are plenty of tools that promise to make things easier. But most weren’t built for the realities of classroom teaching — or how educators actually work.

Brisk Teaching is different. It’s a free Chrome and Edge extension designed just for educators, and in 2025, it’s become the go-to choice for teachers who want to get meaningful work done, faster.

What Is Brisk?

Brisk is an AI-powered Chrome extension that helps you give targeted feedback, plan engaging lessons, scaffold materials, and more — without switching platforms or changing how you teach.

It works directly on tools you already use: Google Docs, Slides, YouTube, PDFs, websites, and even your learning management stystem. Whether you’re grading, creating, or differentiating, Brisk fits right into your workflow.

With one click, you can:

  • Give feedback
  • Adjust reading levels or translate content
  • Build quizzes in Google Forms
  • Create slide decks with images and themes
  • Generate podcasts and corresponding Boost activities
  • Track trends in student writing
  • Use rubrics to guide your comments

Stay in your workflow and get powerful support for feedback, planning, and differentiation — instantly.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with new AI tools showing up every week. Many sound promising — but they weren’t built for classrooms.

Brisk was.

It supports the work you already do — like feedback, lesson creation, and scaffolding — using the materials you already trust.
